ARCHIVED - we are on a gameing forum without a game.

Something has only now just struck me.
Although we have been in the dark for over a year there are still a huge number of people that frequent this forum. I suddenly realized that I come here every day to a video game forum that has no video game to talk about. So does everyone else....
and I'm not the slightest bit bored here.
I'm also not even waiting for their next game.
I could even live with it if they didn't I know that sounds a bit odd. I come here for the people. Not the new join trolls and the vs threads. But the legend's and the mythic's. the people that i have listened to and argued with on every subject under the sun. I come back because I like you guys.
Bungie went and they did a magical thing. They built a community with a game, then they stopped making the games ( for now) and their community stayed together. over 365 days and we are still going.
So i guess the question is what really keeps you here
The promise of a new game?
the love of bungie?
private groups?
Or is it the 7th column itself?

I have friends here.
I also want to be here when Bungie finally makes a move. I imagine it will be spectacular.[/quote] Exactly. I've been lurking here. This is the first time I logged in since, I think, the official hand-off of Halo to 343 Industries.
OP is right in a way; we're a gaming community whose game has been handed over to someone else. All that's left here is, really, dust and echoes as far as that goes. Ghosts of IPs past in the walls.
I know it's old, but I just [i]finally[/i] found out about and watched their huge ViDoc and thought I'd pop back and look around. I want to be here when Destiny becomes more than rumor and speculation because it's gonna be awesome.

Holy crap it's been a year in the dark? Wow... That's crazy. Amazing how life just passes by. I haven't stopped by in a while though so it makes sense but still.
So much has happened. So much more will happen. I'm glad we have a great group of people to fall back on while Bungie is doing their thing.

Recon is right, we are the game. It is our "destiny" to all become the very best of friends.[/quote]Well, I guess I can put that saved money to buying something else now.

A very large majority are, yes. Some groups I have been in are just as ever changing when I hit F5 as The Flood is. On top of that, I prefer the moderation there. The people are generally more relaxed, and discussion is more hilarious. Just an opinion though.
I personally have always preferred private groups over the mains. Just have to find the right group(s).

I come here more so for the private groups and The Flood. I guess the lols, more or less. I just like some of the community members. Not all, but some.[/quote]
The flood has the most active turn over. The quality of threads are a bit sad though. [/quote]
But it's not like the thread quality of threads here are exactly the golden standard. Not generally, anyways. The best conversations are in private groups.[/quote]
I saw a thread about the whole population is moving into private groups... are they really that active right now?

Bungie is working in a brand new universe, if you want a game with great quality, design, and awesome story telling, you're gonna have to wait because it takes time and effort, sit down and wait it will be here next year.[/quote]
I think someone miss read the op.
I'm saying im here for the people more than the games and asking people what keeps them here.

I often ask myself this, OP. Why do I keep signing in this site? I guess because this site is so damn simple and original. And its very well built.[/quote]
the webmasters are always watching....

Maybe this IS the game?
Ever thought about that?[/quote]
Yes, actually. It was one of those type of thoughts that I write out, but never post. I believe this certain instance was when I was about to reply to a thread and infer a conspiracy theory revolving around the idea that Bungie has already taken over the world, but using their particular set of skills, has set up a Matrix like reality...

Ever thought about that?[/quote]You just lost the game.[/quote]
Or, I just started it. For everyone.
Besides, it wouldn't be "that" game.[/quote]Mindception.

We're like one big married couple.
We fight, we argue, we swear one day the ground will split under the others feet and swallow them whole, but we will always wake up, the next day, ready to start it over, cause in the end, we know we don't mean it.
As for evilcam...Well he's the guy staring in the window at night, seeing if he can catch us "doing it".[/quote]
Ahaha that's a great way to think of it actually.
( for me lately foman is that one cop that pulls me over and keeps giving me warnings. :) )
I do love the discussions that happen here. it's true that while we may get into crazy arguments we normally come back with a fresh attitude.
